( Oil Mill S, TIESUAV, AlfilßT 7, ISf.O. Nbsiiilned hy the llerord The l.atlranff© Reporter takes us to ta?k lor saying that, “in a majority of instance*, Mr. I llell hit? voted with the enemies of the South.’’ Our eoteraporary has the charity to acquit UR of i any intention to deceive our reader*, and insinu- ; ate* that wo made the above charge without having sufficiently examined Mr. Hell’s record. — I In muk:ng the charge we had reference to the prominent questions and measures which affected ■ the rights and interest? of the Southorn people, j Further than to ascertain his relation to these quentioLs. wc have not examined Mr. Bell's re cord. nor do we eomider it important to do so. ; This investigation has informed us that Mr. Bell I voted for the admission into the I’niouol a fr* State, (California) the question of fraud j and irregularity, of which her squatter constitu- j tion was the perfect embodiment, and, in so do- | ing. acted with the enemies of :-ht South- having j for his eo-operator* Chase, Hale. Hamlin, Sew-j nrd. (1 i d tonne yenn*. AVc learn from the same source that Mr. Bell opposed the admission into j the Union of a dat e State, on tho ground of ir cgu’arity and fraud, in which opposition he was j joined by the same delectable associates. Mr. . 801 l also voted again e t the Kansas Nebraska bill i because it repealed the Missouri restriction, and here again, we find him acting with the whole Black Republican column. Those were three , great ooousiona—greater in their political bearing j and effect than any which have transpired with- . in ten years, and in the irhole three we have j shown that Mr. Bell parted with his outhcru col- . leagues and sided with the Black Republicans.— j If the Reporter desires further proof of Mr. Bell’s | un-oundness, we refer it to his views upon tho , j abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia / published in tho tirst column under the editorial head of this paper. But we think enough has been given to sustain our charge aud to relieve us from tho insinuation that wo made it without a J previous examination of Mr. Bell’s record. Food lor Reflection. Kx-tlovernor limit, of New York, the leading .-up porter of Bel! and Everett in that State, has; ! hud a falling out with ilrcclcv. of the Tribune, ! j and has atblrcs’sed i hat worthy a long letter against the Tribune’s charge that Hunt refused to I I join the Republicans, “because of personal nm j bition, and that his support might be secured on ! j certain conditions.” From this letter of Hunt, ! ! which we find in the New York Bell and Ever- j { ett organ, tho Express, we select tho subjoined j j paragraphs, which go to Bhow that Bell and Kv- I j erett have heretofore and do now stand high in ! i the esteem aud affections of those deadly enc j mies of the South, tho Black Republican s, led by I I break}’ and other John llr<*wnites : “Nay, further: I firmly believe that a deckled | majority of the thoughtful and patriotic men of’ the Republican party wonld at this moment cor- 1 diallv hail (he election to the Presidency *deith- j or John Bell or Kdward liverett, s the best so- I lutionof tlio ijueution which now agitates the ! country. It is by no moans impossible that, in j less than six mouths, even you will strenuously . contend that it is thebounden duty of every Ke publican Representative to vote for Mr. Bell, and this reflection should admonish yut t<> adopts more rational tone of discussion.” “You uow preteml that Mr. Bell is objec- | tionable as Mr. Breekiuridgc.

Melancholy and Fatal Accident William Boid, son of Peter and Maria Gorma n., lato of Columbus, Ga..agcd 10 years, was drown ed in the Chiekamauga, at Graysfille, Ga., on the 29th of July, 1800. It appears, ho went t> bathe in the croek for the first time on the above j named day, and being unable to swim sunk with in a few feet of the bank, iu a place roniainiiig about TO or 12 feet, of water. There being no person about tho place where lu- went into tho • reck except a younger brother who was on tho bank, it was impossible to render him timely as sistance. Tho body wai found about forty min ute* after he had sunk for tho last time, and every tbmg that could possibly be done wii* resorted to to remtscitoio him, but all without effect, as from the length of time the body had l>een in tho water tho vital ./park *nu.t have fled, lie wa-/ a line, manly boy, and showed early promise of mueh intelligence. His early death is the source of much regret to all the inhabitants of Graysville. flia remains were borne to the grave on the fol lowing day. Tho pupils of the Academy which ho attended, marched in procession carrying black flags and wearing crape on the left arm. Much commiseration is felt for his parents in tho loss they have sustained by the death, so premature ly, of their first born. Cincinnati papers please copy.

Mr. Douglas's .speech hero ! yesterday showed that He was finding tho way j to the Northern heart; he nover stated bis Popu lar Sovereignty doctrine so fully and fairly be fore, and if was interesting to see how lie turned up tho Northern side of it so as to catch the ap- I plauso of tho anti •slavery sympathies of the crowd. All else was cold fodder for audit nco and him. and he was fairly starved into a lefl-band lod Republican reasoning, in order to feed and be j ted. ;>o, tex, huW'deftly and sweetly ho spoke of our Now England emigrant;- to Kansas- -iucu whom he had denounced, oven within a year, in the L'uited States Senate, ns paupers, \ a Jabomls, and the lowest offscoiiring of a plethoric ponula ; tion.

There can bo but one choice for tho fair anil honest people of tlio Sou h io make among all there candidate-, and that is Breckinritloe and 141:, .i’rV The opposition to the candidate., of tho real friends rd the Constitution and of the Union, have not scrupled at anythin • they thought would j promote their ends. Messrs. Breckinridge and Lane km a been a- I sailed in Uiemost unjustifiable manner, by tbo-c who were ignorant of what they wr< to, or wore guilty of the most shameless and nudacioug Jying. j Mr. Breckinridge has been accused by the ('in- < | cinnati Enquirer, and papers of that atmrup, of j supporting Taylor against Cns in I.H4S. The | truth is, he earnestly supported tin* latter, and j made speeches for him. I The charge that .Mr. Breckinridge voted for an Emancipation candidate for the State Convention i I in 1849, hue been industriously circulated through j the Southern States. It is a pari wi tho tactics j | of that wing of the opposition, who garble his .speeches and pervert bD record to fasten squatter ; ! sovereignty views upon him. Tho truth, in refer cnee to this charge, as in regard to tho other to which wo have referred, L tlio very re verso of that alleged. In 1849, bo wio himself a candidate for the Legislature on tho pro-slavery ticket, and opposed to the Emancipation cause from every slump in the county. Not only that, but he vo ted against his uncle, Rev. R. J. Breckinridge, and Mr. Shy, who were the Emancipation candi dates for the Convention. [ Jle has been accused of tyuipathuing with ‘ ‘ Know Nothingism in 18D5, upwn the ground of j ’ some,at most,equivocal language, used ina speech which was not accurately reported, ajul which no body ever claimed was so published, while tho records show that be denounced the whole move meat from his place In Congress just prior the delivery of the speech in question. Thus, one by one, tho charges brought again and Mr. Brcokcnridge arc refuted j and the malice of hi* enemies served no purpose but to strength en him before tho people,.who know him, and lovo him, and havo unshaken confidence in birr,.

Men fighting for the right have no need of long-winded speeches and a multitude ol words to cover up their meaning. “1 ain an American citizen, a Kentuckian - who never did an act or rhemhed a thoughtthnt was not full of devotion to the Constitution and the Union,” -nid ho to the friends and neighbors who were gathered around him; and if there is any place where a denial of those proud words can be found, it would be in Frankfort, tin- sveno of all his p ditn al druggh with oldcrnnd dexterous candidates fur popular favor, and where repeated canvasrcn in hot polit ical tirces have tTied the mettlcnnd tho principles that are in hint. He knew that it w:n not neo ary for him. there in the midst of old friends and constituents who hud known every step ofho public earner, to deny the absurd charge that he was u disunion ist; but it was meet that from that spot where po i liticu! opponents could most easily send forth a denial of his words ifthey were untrue, he should deny the accusation before the whole country. | Short as the speech Is, there arc other poictr well put, and well worthy of attention. Ho sought not tho nomination, but the nomination sought him, and being in he foci* that the posi tion he occupies to-day is right, and he accepts it with all its responsibilities, conscious that bo is not animate*! or sustained by a hot ambition. He exposes kite absurdity of calling a conven tion composed of delegat ions from x majority of the Htates, including the two on the Pacific. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, a sectional convention, and he claims that our double form of government, Htate and Federal, has boon the most successful in de monstrating that free institutinns may be estab lished over a groat population and a largo area of territory consistently with public order, and that the constitution and theequity of the States should therefore be preserved.—.V.
